Waaay too SWEET! I like my lemon desserts TANGY! What I did: Used only 1.5 cups sugar (orig. 2cups) Used 3.5 TBS lemon juice (orig. 2 TBS) No zest (orig. 1 1/2 TBS) No powdered sugar (orig. 1/4 cup) Result: Too sweet. No lemon tang What I'd do next time: Use only 1 cup sugar (orig. 2 cups) 6+ TBS lemon juice (orig. 2 TBS) Use only 1 1/4 cup milk (depending on how much extra lemon juice added) (orig. 1 1/2 cups) I personally don't like zest (diminishes lemon tang/too bitter) but the cake part ,imo, was in need of something. So you just might want to maybe sprinkle some zest over top of cake just before baking.

This is awesome!WOW LOVED IT!

This was good, but the texture sure surprised me. It tasted like a moist sponge cake, which is fine if you like sponge cake. If you don't, you probably won't like this. Cut the sugar to 1.5 cups - it's plenty. I made this lactose free by using oil and soy milk and it was fine. Watch it carefully, the top burns easily so you may need to turn the temperature down in middle. And don't cut the lemon zest, I did and I felt the flavor wasn't strong enough.

this was very interesting to make! even though i didn't have the right pan, i used a glass bowl, the recipe came out great! i followed the recipe to the mark and didn't think it was too sweet. however, i do really really really recommend covering the top loosely in foil as it browns too quickly. i made this for my cousin and husband who love lemon and they thought it was wonderful!

It was just okay for me. I like chocolate lava cake better!

This is my first time baking. It turns out great. The outer layer is a bit crispy and spongy (cake) but the bottom is gorgeous; it's a lemon pudding. It's so good. I will definitely make it again without dropping the food colouring. Very good. Thanks

I like it but the bottom was too runny.

great

What a hit! Did not stop eating this until it was gone! I love it warm, so now I am making another one to see if it's as good cold. Can't imagine that I would enjoy this simple recipe so much. Thanx for the recipe

I don't know what I did wrong, but I didn't like this recipe. My husband did so I gave it a 3 star. It took too many bowls. After combining the first 3 ingred. I mixed it with an electric mixer, and by the time I added the egg yolks, the milk, lemon, and zest, the first 3 ingred had hardened so I could hardly mix the rest of it in together. It was all downhill from there. I'll never make it again even if my husband did like it. It was too much work for a really mediocre flavor.

Very good! I used 5 inch ramekins, and they turned out beautifully. They weren't sweet enough, but after sprinkling the confectioner's sugar, it was delicious. I also made some mini tart pastry shells, but it didn't taste nearly as good with the pastry.

my mom just made this, and followed the recipe exactly. It was probably the best cake that i have ever had! I loved the pudding at the bottom. It was not too tangy it was the perfect amount of sweet. I loved how light and fluffy it was. Even my little sisters, who are very picky eaters, loved it.

In the words of my five year old "there isn't anything to exciting about this". I wanted it to be more tart and tangy, more like a curd. It was just o.k. The cake on top has a good flavor and comes out like an angel food cake. The pudding is more custard like. It was overall o.k. because I was really hoping for tart and tangy.

A quick and easy and delicious cake for those of us who are crazy about lemon. This was a little sweet for our taste, so on our second attempt we cut the total sugar by half a cup, which gave us more of the tart, lemony tang we were looking for. Delicious!

this is a great recipe! it's easy and delicious!! however, i find that it's a still a tad too sweet even though i have reduced the sugar amount to 1 1/2 cups. and also, i find that the top browns kinda fast so i suggest that the pan to be covered loosely with a foil while baking.

How about 6 stars?! This recipe is really good, it's amazing how the cake forms on top of the pudding. I don't know what "lemon zest" is, so I just added more lemon juice and it was great!

This went over very BIG! Easy to make and was delicious.
